Unclear.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Is the shillelagh one-handed (club) or two-handed (staff)? Unclear. If it can be either, should the damage be different? I tend to make it two-handed in my games.</li> </ul>So I agree that there are some unclear things, but not that it's OP. What I've noticed in play, is that at the lower levels (when PCs lack magic weapons), the druid using shillelagh against some demons got worked over pretty bad. Monster with resistance to mundane weapons tend to be pretty tough and good at focus-fire. And being the only warrior-type in the party able to deal full damage is a good way to ensure focus fire on yourself.</blockquote>
